Filipinos in the Netherlands / Intercultural Understanding / Pinoys Abroad & Global Pinoy / Philippines-Netherlands Friendship Association / Migration & Women Empowerment / Migrant Community Organisations / Phiippine Culture & Values This is the inspiration behind the name of the organization that was launched by several Filipinos in the Netherlands in 1981. Samahan is one the oldest Dutch-Filip
ino organizations in the Benelux, and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011. Its rank-and-file membership consists mostly of women from many backgrounds - entrepreneurs, housewives, care givers, office workers, domestic service workers, working moms, expats, and professionals.

WELCOME to SAMAHAN sa NETHERLANDS on FACEBOOK! We are not only a cozy group of friends and kababayan in the land of tulips and windmills. We're also a formally established membership-organization ("Vereniging" in Dutch) that's been around for some 30 years. We're in the mood to celebrate: 2011 is our 30th anniversary year, and we are so proud to say that Samahan is the very first FILCOM organization in the Netherlands to have reached this milestone. With this page, SAMAHAN will be sharing its celebrations and highlighting its jubilee activities. This is a great place to expand our friendships as we recollect the memories or yesteryear and refresh the hopes and dreams of our SAMAHAN.
